Memorials to the late Dean Karl E.
Guthe, Prof. M. L. D'Ooge and Mr. A.
H. Walker were read at the meeting
of the University Senate last Monday.
The memorials follow:
KARL EUGEN GUTHE
"The entrance of Death upon our
familiar circle solemnizes us all at
any time. But when one is taken who
is still in his prime, whose scientific
career and opportunity for service
promise much, whose eagerness for
truth is not blunted, who retains the
vivacity of youth, we almost rebel,
and mourn with keenest regret the
pity of the broken life, as our limited
vision accounts it. Such were our
prevalent feelings when we received
the staggering news of the death of
Dr. Guthe, on September 10th, 1915,
under tragio circumstances,-after
two severe surgical operations,-at
the remote town of Ashland, Oregon.
He had taken leave of some of us in
mid-August, stalwart and full of
health, anticipating the Pacific trip
with the genial zest so characteristic
of him; and the sad intelligence, com-
ing but a brief month later;.shocked
us profoundly.
Guthe Born in Hanover
"KARL EUGEN GUTHE was born
In Hanover on 5th March, 1866, so
that he had not reached his 50th
birthday at the time of his death. He
received his preparatory education in
the Hanover Gymnasium and Tech-
nical School. Migrating, after the
European custom, he studied at the
Universities of Strassburg, Berlin an
Marburg, habilitating as doctor of
philosophy at the last, in 1892. In the
same year he emigrated to the Unitec
States with others of histfamily.
"For seven years, from 1893 til
1900, he was instructor in physics Li
the University of Michigan; in 1900,
he was ad.anced to an assistant pro.
esscrship, which he retained foi
:hree years. In the autumn of 1903,
ha entered the service of the United
Sats government as associate physi-
ist in that, admirable organization,
the Bureau of Standards. Two yeari
latcr he accepted a call to the head-
ship of the department of physics it
Lhe sister state University of Iowa.
where he remained for four years, be-
coming in this short period one of the
iniiuential members of the staff, a
ian in whom the institution tool

Returns to University
When, in 1909, after the resigna-
tion of Dr. Henry S. Carhart, Dr
Guthe returned to the University o
Michigan as professor of physics, th4
appointment met with the heartiest
approval of all, and in three years h
had so established himself among us.

sonality, that, when the Graduate
School of the Department of Litera-
ture, Science, and the Arts underwent
reorganization and became the grad
uate department of the university, h
was selected for the delicate duties o*
the deanship.
"He had no more than laid founda-
tions for the future when Deatl
snatched 'him. Much remains to be
accomplished for our Graduate School;
the first dean, setting his face towarc
the things of the mind,-surely the
things that most matter in any uni-
versity,-was enabled by his personal
qualities to render a difficult transi-
tion less disturbing than it might well
have been in other hands.

sons and a daughter. While we now
give expression to our grief for the
loss of a generous and distinguished
colleague, we remind ourselves that
the widow and orphans are far more
terribly bereft. Accordingly, we beg
to be permitted to assure Mrs. Guthc
and her children of our deep and
most respectful sympathy."

D'Ooge a Native of Holland
-MARTIN LUTHER D'OOGE was a
ative of Holland, having been born
v Zonnemaire, in the province of
;eeland, July 7, 1839, the eldest son
.I Leonard and Johanna (Quintus)
>'Ooge. His father was of Huguenot
escent, while his mother came of a
utch family in which the men had
or several generations followed the
rofession of teaching. About the
-iddle' of the last century there was
wave of migration from the Nether-
ands to this country, and large num-
)ers settled in western Michigan
where they became an influential ele-
ent in the development of this state.
he D'Ooges joined in this movement,
ut tarried for a few years in the
.udson valley, chiefly in Albany.
"About 1853 they made their way to
.he newly settled country beyond
-rand Rapids, where they suffered
or a time their full share of the priv-
itions of pioneer life. The father was
>y occupation a painter and decorator
.nd before long his skill found ample
-ecognition in the growing city of
(rand Rapids, which now became the
ermanent residence of the family.
'he son worked with his father, mean-
:m getting such training as the
Ather primitive high school of the
own could give him. In 1857 he was
ble to enter the scientific course at
Ann Arbor. He made up his prepara-
tory Greek by private study and was
graduated bachelor of arts in 1862.
Being an apt student in the languages,
he helped himself through college in
the later years by private tutoring in
the classics. This facility led to his
appointment on graduation as clas-
sical teacher in the Ann Arbor high
school, and from 1863 to 1865 he was
principal of the school.
Was Genial and Sympathetic
"His university career was distinct-
ly noteworthy. He was thoroughly
devoted to his alma mater in all her
interests. As a teacher he was prompt
and energetic. He always gave him-
self a full program of courses and
maintained a high ideal of scholar-
ship in his classes. He was genial
ind sympathetic without being over-
ndulgent, and he thus won the'grate-
Iul affection of his pupils now scat-
:ered over the entire country. From
nany of these have come expressions
f deep sorrow at the news of his
leath.
"He was a hard student and an
WEEK'S- THEATRE OSSIP
"THE ONLY GIRL," "ON TRIAL,"
AND "A PAIR OF SIXES" FILLS
ATTRACTIVE BILL.
Of all those writing for the musical
comedy stage, none have given more
pleasure to audiences than have Hen-
ry Blossom and Victor Herbert, par-
ticularly when they are writing to-
gether. The ascendency of Blossom
and Herbert can be dated back to the
time when'they wrote "The Red Mill"
for Montgomery and Stone. Following
this musical play came the bright and
fascinating airs, duets, waltzes, quar-
tettes, etc. of "Mle. Modiste" and "The
Prima Donna," both being sung by
Fritzie Scheff. It was after they had
written "The Prima Donna" that they
found new associates, but they were
not able to meet with the same fortune
as when they were working in con-
junction.
After several years apart, by some
good chance they were brought to-
gether again last year, when they col-
laborated on "The Only Girl," which
playgoers remember as the brightest
musical play of its kind seen in De-
troit for many years, and which re-
turns for an engagement of one week
to the Garrick Theatre there, begin-
ning next Monday evening, with the
usual matinees on Wednesday and
Saturday.
It is generally agreed that "On
Trial" which is one of the genuine hits
of the theatrical season in New York,
is the most ingeniously constructed
and artistically visualized play that
the American stage has seen in years.
What makes it so, is that fact that it
deals with the actualities of life, and
tells a story that audiences listen to
with bated breath, It will therefore, be
good news to local theatre goers to be
told that "On Trial" is to be present-
ed at the Whitney Theatre Monday,
November 8, and that the presenting
company is' a Cohan & Harris organ-
ization.
Like all things which succeed, the
title "A Pair of Sixes" seems to be
just the exact name to fit the supreme-
ly funny farce which will be seen at
the Whitney Theatre, Saturday, No-
vember 6. It refers merely to the in-
cident in the play which caused two
partners to disagree and start a whirl
of fun which is now being enjoyed the
country over, Beyond that, the -title
has nothing to do with what has been
termed oui great American indoor
card game, There is, of course, a
queen of hearts in the cast. She is a
mighty big card and is probably the
only instance where a lone queen beats
a pair of sixes.
UNSULACIVIYIN
WORLDBOND MARKETS
GENERAL PROSPERITY FOLLOWS
PERIOD OF HESITANCY DUE TO
BIG LOAN
(Spencer Trask and Company.)
Due, both indirectly and directly to
the effects of the Anglo-French loan,
the bond market has been unusually
active during all of the last month.
Prior to the fixing of the major points
of the loan, a certain amount of hes-
itancy developed in investment mar-
kets, but when it was seen that the
loan would not compete with American
bonds, but would be in a class by it-
self, an amount of business developed
that has been seen in this country but
once in nearly four years.
Commercial activity has gone hand
in hand with a general rise in prices
which averages two points over last
month. Both high as well as low
grade bonds have shared in the ad-
vance, although toward the end of the
month the market showed some signs
of wavering. Money continues so easy
and general prosperity is increasing so
generally that the hesitation in the
advance cannot be traced to any ap-
prehension as regards safety.
The stock markets, too, have been
extremely active. There have been
18 days this month in which 1,000,000
shares were turned over, a record un-
precedented since 1906. The market
seems to have entered a phase of dis-
tribution, but in view of the splendid
crops and the improving industrial po-
sition, it would seem that the sound
railroad stocks still offer ample oppor-
tunity for profitable investment.
TO SHOW ANTARCTIC PICTURES
IN PEASE AUDITORIUM FRIDAY
Several Reels Added to Those Shown
by Sir Douglas 3Iawson
Last Year
"Racing With Death in Antarctic
Blizzards" will be shown in Pease
auditorium, Ypsilanti, at 7:30 o'clock,
Friday evening. These pictures were
taken by the famous explorer, Sir
Douglas Mawson, on his trip to the
antarctic regions. Many who saw
these pictures last year in Hill audi-
torium will take advantage of the op-
portunity to see them again.
Sir Douglas Mawson is in Adelaide,
Australia, where he is drilling a regi-
ment to engage in the war. His place
will be filled by Dr. W. A. Hunsberger,
Friday. In addition to the pictures
shown last year, there will be several
more films recently received from Dr.
Mawson.
Following is a criticism of the pic-
ture by a member of the faculty:
"These pictures were given a year
ago in Hill auditorium. I shall be
glad to see them again, and shall
urge my classes to go. I think many
Ann Arbor people who missed the op-
portunity here will go to see the pic-
tures now at Ypsilanti."-Prof. Wil-

ment,

STUDENTS OF TORONTO SCHOOL
LEAVE STUDY FOR WAR ZONE
Two-Thirds Of Students Transferred
to Northern France For
Field Work
War has played havoc with the uni-
versities of Canada. Two-thirds
of the students of the University of
Toronto have gone to the scene of the
war. Closing the academic year early,
practically the entire faculty and stu-
dent body of the medical department
of the university was transported to
northern France to take charge of
hospital and field work.
It is reported that practically one
entire regiment has been made up of
students from the University of Toron-
to. Some faculty members are also
serving on this army unit, but many
of the faculty men who have chosen
to go to the front are engaged in
training duty.
Financial support to fellows of the
university has been cut off, and those
who have remained to pursue their
work are entirely dependent upon
their own efforts at self support. In

GOVERNOR FERRIS'
FAVORS SUFFRAGE
DISCLOSES FACT TO I Y" 'RE-
PorTrk IN PERSONAL INTER-
VIEW YESTERDAY
THINKS DORMITORY FINE
Governor Ferris is in favor of wom-
en's suffrage. This fact was given out
yesterday to a reporter of The Daily
in a personal interview with the gov-
ernor.
The governor said in regard to the
suffrage question: "Women will get
the vote, but they must not think they
are going to revolutionize the world.
I am glad that they are going to have
it, but that does not mean that they
are any nobler or better than man. I
want them to have a chance to make
some of the mistakes we men have
made."
The governor was interrupted, but
he resumed a moment later: 1"I ex-
pect to live 20 or 30 years to watch
developments when equal suffrage is
instituted." He is of the opinion that
"church and home, school and home,
parents and children, and men and
women can strive together for the bet-
terment of society."
"Conditions have changed," said the
governor. "When I was a medical stu-
dent in the University of Michigan
back in 1874 I lived on a dollar and
a quarter a week. This included room
and board. Yes, and I gained 18
pounds on the board."
At this point the governor made as
if to end the interview. Referring to
Martha Cook dormitory, he was asked,
"You like the building, then?" "Very
much," he replied. "It is beautiful,
and anything beautiful attracts me."
Governor Ferris agreed with President
Hutchins that the women will be
helped and not spoiled by living amid
such beautiful surroundings.

Daily recently, lamenting an instance would give his services and, if neces-
of unsportsmanship in the cheering
stands, occurs this passage: "Last
year a lamentable incident took place
at the Vanderbilt game. The South-
ern newspapers were bitter in their
denunciation of Michigan. This year
there is no Vanderbilt game, whether
from this reason or some other we do
not know."
The Hustler, as an organ of the
Vanderbilt student body, desires to
assure The Daily that no word of
censure came from Vanderbilt, as does
none now. Vanderbilt and Michigan
have had too long and too friendly
relations for the Commodores to take
offense at one thoughtless slip. We
look forward to the day when the
Michigan game will again find its
permanent place on our schedule.
Leland Slanford Votes Down Rush
Palo Alto, Nov. 3.-By an over-
whelming vote on the part of the
Seniors and Juniors, the annual up-
perclass Plug Ugly rush has been de-
-lared a thing of the past. Probably
a record number of ballots were cast
by 1916 and 1917 men alike, 408 votes
being the grand total.
There has been considerable objec-
tion to this feature of the fall term.
Advocates Cadet Course for Students
Eugene, Ore., Nov. 3.-"A course to
train cadets in every college and uni-
versity, supported by public funds,
and full credit given for every hour
spent in connection with such a
course," is the policy that Congress-
nan Clifton N. McArthur advises for
311 public schools of higher education
n the nation. These views were given
)ut in Mr. McArthur's assembly ad-
tress Friday morning in Villard hall.
The congressman said: "I know.
sary, his life, for our country, and I
am sure that if it should be the de-
cision of our lawmakers that you shall
be required to engage in military drill
that you will accept the situation un-
complainingly."
To Cast Vote of Conference Question
Columbus, O., Nov 3.-Ohio State
university students will vote today
and tomorrow on whether or not they
wish to maintain the summer baseball
rules of the western conference. Bal-
lot boxes have been placed in Univer-
sity hall, the Library, Townsend hall,
Page hall, the Ohio Union, and the
Medical college.
All the Big Nine ,schools with the
exception of Purdue and Northwest-
ern will conduct similar straw votes.
A large vote decisively in favor of
abolishing the restrictions against
athletes earning their way through
school by playing baseball for money,
may have some influence on the west-
ern conference relfresentatives when
they meet in Chicago in December.
There are three possible ways of
roting. Proposition 1 is the present
ruling. Proposition 2 provides for
athletes signing a contract with a
team which plays under organized
baseball, while proposition 3 provides
that proposition 2 is illegal, and
should disbar an athlete, but that
some means should be provided for
an athlete making money if he plays
only with an independent team, not
connected with organized baseball,
where the salary is paid by the pro-
ceeds of the game and not by the con-
tract.
